Well it’s coming and everyone is waiting for it, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare 2, so we figured we’d put up as many screenshots as we could find that were tasty. Unfortunately it looks like still no main-story-line co-op, but they are offering co-op in the SpecOps mode which is taking down foes in special [...]

I can only describe the first Army of Two game as a “huge let down” — the game was dripping with potential, but due to either a lack of time or vision the team couldn’t pull it all together into the co-op insanity and wonderment that it was suppose to be. You ended up with [...]

Resident Evil 5 continues the saga and ties the early games in the series back into the new storyline started in Resident Evil 4. The game trades solitary survival horror for intense co-op action. Retaining the control scheme and third person, over the shoulder perspective seen in Resident Evil 4, this [...]

Gears of War 2 is not just a “bigger and badder” version of the original Gears of War… it’s a better Gears of War. Everything that was good, is now Great. Everything that might have been an lame or annoying is gone and to put icing on all of this, there [...]

Apparently besides zombies, one of the biggest threats are motorcycle gangs in the upcoming zombie co-op extraveganza.

I got an early copy of the Left 4 Dead demo from GameStop today.  The demo is slated to hit the Xbox Live Marketplace sometime next week, but with a pre-oprder at GameStop you can get it now. I was expecting a horror game, but really it is an action game with a horror/zombie setting. [...]

Lion Head has announced that the co-op “patch” for Fable 2 has been certified by Microsoft and all is green-lit; so when you buy Fable 2 on October 21st and pop it into your Xbox 360 to play, you’ll see the all-to-common “There is a patch available for this game, would you like to apply [...]

Awesome, looks like Fable 2 will have Co-Op play at it’s launch thanks to a Day One patch (e.g. as soon as you pop the disk in, it will apply a patch).

Remember a couple of days ago (or was it a week) where on a blog it was mentioned that Fable II would be shipping [...]

We got pumped about Call of Duty: World at War (Call of Duty 5) back in June when it was announced; then we got un-pumped a bit when we saw it was Treyarch doing it (the same folks that did Call of Duty 3), then we got re-pumped when we saw they had engineered in [...]

There is no avoiding it, multiplayer support in a game, even the longest RPG, can extend a game’s life well beyond it’s initial single-player play through; even allowing the game to grow into it’s own cult status like a Halo or Counter Strike.
While most players used to seem pretty satisfied with Death Match or CTF [...]
